Foreign national arrested for violation of visa restrictions

[mark_15]

mainichi A university student from China has been arrested for illegally engaging in business activities outside the restrictions of his student visa. Wang Yue Si, 23, came to Japan on a student visa in April 2004. He started selling items such as weapons and currency for online games through an Internet auction site in April this year, without obtaining the appropriate residency status. It is a violation of the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Law, according to police. Read here... (http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/national/news/20061123p2a00m0na023 000c.html)

Thanks for the info mark. Yari tsk tsk.
A bank worker became suspicious when Wang regularly sent money back home to China and alerted police in August, prompting Kumamoto police officers to investigate the student.
Sana magi itong babala sa mga kababayan nating nagtatrabaho (baito, pa-to atbp.) na wala namang permit - "Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted by the Status of Residence Previously Granted", o sa Japanese ay 資格外活動許可書 (Shikaku-gai katsudou kyoka-sho).

Huwag po nating kakalimutan na kapag ang status (visa type) natin ay ang mga sumusunod...
Cultural Activities (文化活動)
College Student (留学)
Pre-college Student (就学)
Dependent (家族滞在)...maaari lamang tayo makapagtrabaho kapag meron tayong permit. Kailangan din tandaan na kapag estudyante (2. or 3.) ay limitado lamang ang haba ng oras na pwede magtrabaho.

Para sa detalye pakibasa na lang ng mga links sa ibaba.

Hi IT (nakita ko sa kabilang thread na yan ang tawag sa yo ng ibang TF Member)

Yes, technically hindi nga pwede :) Kailangan mo din kumuha ng permit kung gusto mong mag arubaito.

Ito nga pala ang link sa English version ng Application Form:

http://www.immi-moj.go.jp/english/tetuduki/kanri/shyorui/09.html

May mga employer na nagi-insist na kailangang may permit ka muna bago ka nila tatanggapin, pero ang Immigration naman sasabihin sayo na kailangang may employer ka muna bago ka makapag-apply ng permit. Alin ba talaga ang uunahin? Actually, ang ibig sabihin ng Immigration ng "kailangang may employer ka" ay prospective employer lang naman. So gawin mo - ipakita mo sa prospective employer ang list of requirements at application form. Ipaliwanag mo na kailangang isulat dun sa form ang detalye ng magiging trabaho mo at ang contact info nila (prospective employer). Normally ay papayag sila, unless may kalokohang ginagawa ang company. So parang safety measure na din itong permit vs kaduda-dudang employers. :D
